Didrovaltrate  (Synonyms: Didrovaltratum)

Cat. No.: HY-N3741 Purity: 92.0%
Handling Instructions Technical Support

Didrovaltrate (Didrovaltratum) is an L-type calcium channel blocker, ROS scavenger, autophagy enhancer, and lipid accumulation inhibitor. Didrovaltrate blocks L-type calcium currents in a concentration-dependent manner, shifts the current-voltage curve upward, modulates steady-state inactivation kinetics, and inhibits the nuclear translocation of glucocorticoid receptors. Didrovaltrate reduces ROS levels, downregulates the expression of muscle atrophy-related genes, enhances autophagy via lipophagy, and decreases Oleic acid-induced lipid accumulation. Didrovaltrate exhibits cytotoxic activity against cancer cells. Didrovaltrate can be used in research related to skeletal muscle atrophy, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, breast cancer, lung cancer, gastric cancer, and prostate cancer.

In Vitro

Didrovaltrate (30-100 μg/L) reduces the peak L-type calcium current (maximum L-type calcium current), decreasing it from 6.01 pA/pF to 3.45 pA/pF and 2.16 pA/pF, with inhibition rates of 42.6% and 64.1%, respectively[1].
Didrovaltrate (2.5-5 μM; 24 h) significantly downregulates the expression of muscle atrophy marker genes *Atrogin-1*, *Murf1* and *Mstn* in atrophic C2C12 myotubes induced by Dexamethasone (DEX) (HY-14648), restores the fusion index and myotube diameter, reverses C2C12 myotube atrophy, reduces ROS production, and inhibits the nuclear translocation of glucocorticoid receptor and FOXO3a[2].
Didrovaltrate (2.5-25 μM; 24 h) reduces the viability of Huh7 hepatocytes at concentrations of 10 μM and higher[3].
Didrovaltrate (10 μM; 24 h) reduces oleic acid (HY-N1446)-induced lipid accumulation in Huh7 hepatocytes in an Atg5-dependent manner[3].
Didrovaltrate (10 μM; 0-24 h) enhances autophagic flux in Huh7 hepatocytes and increases the formation of LC3 puncta in cells[3].
Didrovaltrate (1-100 μM; 48 h) potently inhibits the viability of MCF7 human breast adenocarcinoma cells, with an IC50 of 3.9 μM; after 48 h of treatment, this compound exhibits moderate to weak cytotoxic activity against the A549, HGC27, PC3, and HUVEC cell lines[4].

Real Time qPCR[2]

Cell Line: DEX-induced atrophic C2C12 myotubes
Concentration: 2.5, 5 μM
Incubation Time: 24 h (co-incubated with 5 μM DEX)
Result: Significantly downregulated the DEX-induced upregulation of Atrogin-1, Murf1, and Mstn mRNA expression.
Reduced Atrogin-1 expression to ~1.3-fold and ~1.4-fold of the untreated control (from a DEX-induced ~2.2-fold).
Reduced Murf1 expression to ~0.7-fold and ~0.6-fold of the untreated control (from a DEX-induced ~1.9-fold).
Reduced Mstn expression to ~1-fold and ~0.5-fold of the untreated control (from a DEX-induced ~4.5-fold).

Immunofluorescence[2]

Cell Line: DEX-induced atrophic C2C12 myotubes
Concentration: 2.5, 5 μM
Incubation Time: 24 h (co-incubated with 5 μM DEX)
Result: Restored the fusion index from DEX-induced ~42% of the untreated control to ~55% and ~56% respectively.
Restored mean myotube diameter from DEX-induced ~10 μm (from untreated control ~12 μm) to ~11 μm and ~12 μm respectively.
Shifted the myotube diameter distribution away from small diameters (<10 μm) toward larger diameters (>14 μm), reversing the DEX-induced shift toward smaller myotubes.

Western Blot Analysis[2]

Cell Line: DEX-induced atrophic C2C12 myotubes

Reduced DEX-induced nuclear FOXO3a levels from ~3.75-fold of the untreated control to ~1.74-fold and ~1.53-fold of the untreated control respectively, effectively inhibiting DEX-induced nuclear translocation of both proteins.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
